**Podcast Description for Episode #1255 of The Clay Edwards Show** Clay shares a rough start to his morning (nausea, hot flashes, and energy drink regrets), then dives into responding to haters after a wild email from "Cooley" labeling him a "sad, pathetic Trump supporter." He reads his recent post "Why I Respond to the Hate" and explains why ignoring lies, slander, and potential deepfakes isn't an option anymore in the AI era. He spotlights a powerful text from listener Keith (law enforcement) exposing racial double standards in the Nolan Wells investigation — no-snitch culture in Black-on-Black crime vs. demands for total transparency from others. Clay also breaks down a Flowood police chase where a Walmart shoplifting suspect in a Kia Soul wrecked and faced charges. The highlight: Andrew Gasser joins Clay in studio for a high-T discussion on Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's new policy mandating annual testosterone screenings for all U.S. military service members 30 and older. They break down the benefits for warfighters (and civilians), TRT's impact on energy, mindset, and performance, the decline in men's testosterone, and the need to bring back real physical fitness standards like the old Presidential Physical Fitness Test (phased out under Obama, now returning in MS). Plus unfiltered talk on self-inflicted oppression, media ads, app frustration, and more. Strap in for raw, no-sugar-added reality radio — fighting cancel culture and shining light on the issues nobody else will touch in Jackson and beyond. #ClayEdwardsShow #FAFO #Testosterone #NolanWells #Mississippi #RankinCounty #WYAB

Some coaches collect plays. Coach Shawn Cooley collects ways to run the same one.In his third visit to the Board Drill, the East Ridge offensive coordinator makes the case that you do not need a thick call sheet to be multiple. You need one play your kids believe in and a hundred ways to show it. For Cooley, that play is counter, and over the course of the episode he takes GH counter from its plainest form all the way out to the edges of what a defense will let you get away with.Along the way he gets into GT and split-flow counter, a first-level slice RPO he calls emo, counter quick borrowed off the college game, and a long-trap ISO wrinkle he is half convinced should have gotten him fired. From there it turns into a quarterback run clinic: a center-turned-quarterback lowering his shoulder between the tackles, jet and empty-formation keeps, a guard-tailback counter, and a shovel pass he simply calls Tebow. The thread running through all of it is the part most offenses skip. The offensive line barely changes a rule, and the defense never gets to tee off on your base.If you run gap scheme, this is an hour well spent with the whiteboard open. This is a public episode.

Did streaming really save us money... or did we just recreate cable? And has Hollywood officially run out of original ideas?This week on Cooley & The Gang, we're diving into some of the biggest debates in entertainment—and a few unexpected conversations along the way.We kick things off with the viral $9 tip on a $612 dinner debate. Should tipping be based on the quality of the service or the size of the bill? And when does restaurant etiquette become entitlement?Then we jump into The Streaming Wars, breaking down which platforms are worth your money, whether commercials have made a comeback, and if today's streaming bills are any better than the cable packages we all tried to escape.Next, we take a trip down memory lane with Whatever Happened to the TV Family? From The Huxtables and The Banks to The Winslows, The Conners, and today's sitcoms, we ask whether television has stopped giving us families we aspire to—or if society has simply changed.Finally, we visit The Sequel Cemetery to debate reboots, spin-offs, and sequels. Are franchises like Power, Dexter, Bel-Air, Matlock, A Different World, and Man on Fire keeping great stories alive, or is Hollywood relying too much on nostalgia?Whether you agree, disagree, or think we're completely off base, we want to hear your take in the comments.

Welcome to Multiverse News, your source for information about all your favorite fictional universes.Everyone's forgotten Peter Parker…or have they? Sony gave us a second full trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day and the interwebs are buzzing about it. We get longer looks at Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner/Hulk and Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle/Punisher in the film, as well as allusions to the big bad of the movie - though Tom Holland recently said on the press tour that the antagonist has not been figured out yet by fans. Films continue to top each other's openings at the box office this year, with Toy Story 5 having the current title of best opening of the year to the tune of $160 million domestically over the Father's Day weekend. This was also the all-time best opening for the 30-year-old franchise. Disclosure Day took second place this weekend, though Toy Story practically beat its global take in the states alone, and Obsession and Backrooms continue their strong streaks coming in at third and fourth respectively.Universal and Blumhouse's Atomic Monster are jumping on the Curry Barker bandwagon having acquired the young director's third film in a reported eight figure deal. While Universal has been backing Barker, both Obsession and his upcoming film Anything But Ghosts are coming from Focus Features. Blumhouse has produced those same films, but this new move puts the horror powerhouse in a stronger position for film development. To tag onto the box office talk and remind you, Obsession was made for $750,000 and has now made more than $300 million worldwide - making it a tantalizing prospect for Blumhouse.Netflix has opted not to proceed with a second season of The Boroughs, a sci-fi TV series executive produced by Stranger Things creators The Duffer Brothers. The series debuted its first season last month. Universal and Imagine Entertainment are developing a sequel to 2000's How the Grinch Stole Christmas, with Jim Carrey in talks to reprise his role as the classic Dr. Seuss character the Grinch and Ron Howard returning to direct. Manny Jacinto, Emily Mortimer, and Thomasin McKenzie have joined the Season 3 cast of Prime Video's Fallout in recurring roles. In a new interview with Collider, Illumination CEO Chris Meledandri revealed that Star Wars creator George Lucas was cast in a small voice part in the upcoming Minions and Monsters because Lucas is a longtime fan of the Despicable Me franchise. Toy Story 4 director Josh Cooley is reteaming with Keanu Reeves for a live-action hybrid Lego movie that Cooley will direct and Reeves will star in according to Deadline. Netflix has won the rights to develop Alix E. Harrow's best selling novel The Everlasting and will enter production on a series adaptation immediately according to Variety. The Everlasting is a time loop fantasy novel and was one of the best selling books of last year.Universal Pictures has announced that the next Illumination animated film will be Not Alone, an alien movie starring Timothée Chalamet & Selena Gomez which will release in April of next year. Dylan Clark's reboot of The Blair Witch Project for Lionsgate has landed a release date of September 24, 2027.Legendary has announced that a live action Magic School Bus movie is officially in the works with Elizabeth Banks set to play Ms. Frizzle. Detective Pikachu and Goosebumps director Rob Letterman will helm the feature.

For Pride Month, we’re diving into the realities of modern queer relationships with elite gay matchmaker and relationship expert Daniel Cooley. From dating app burnout and modern matchmaking to monogamy, non-monogamy, communication, and the biggest misconceptions people have about LGBTQIA+ relationships, this conversation goes far beyond the stereotypes. Daniel shares what thousands of conversations with gay men have taught him about love, loneliness, dating, commitment, and why many people are still searching for genuine connection despite having more options than ever before. We also explore what heterosexual couples could learn from the way many queer relationships approach communication, boundaries, relationship structures, and emotional honesty. Whether you’re queer, straight, monogamous, non-monogamous, dating, partnered, or simply curious about modern relationships, this episode offers fresh perspectives on what meaningful connection really looks like today.

For longtime observers of the legal profession, here's a headline we wouldn't have expected a few years ago: “The Eight-Figure Talent Race for Supreme Court Lawyers.” According to Ryan Barber and Erin Mulvaney of The Wall Street Journal (gift link), superstar SCOTUS advocates—including former solicitor general Elizabeth Prelogar, now at Cooley, and former acting SG Jeff Wall, who recently joined Gibson Dunn—are commanding pay packages previously unheard of for appellate practitioners.For such a small and elite group, the Supreme Court bar has seen a striking amount of movement in the past few weeks. In April, Wall led a four-partner group that decamped from Sullivan & Cromwell to Gibson. A few days later, another leading high-court litigator, Kannon Shanmugam, left Paul Weiss and joined Davis Polk & Wardwell, where he now heads the firm's new Supreme Court and appellate practice group.What explains this flurry of movement in the SCOTUS space? Why are top firms investing so heavily in Supreme Court and appellate practices? And what broader trends might this reflect?I could think of no better guest to explore these topics than Kannon Shanmugam. Not only did he recently go through the recruiting process as a lateral partner, but he's now going to be doing some hiring of his own, as he and Masha Hansford build out what Kannon hopes will be “the very best appellate practice in the country.”Thanks to Kannon for speaking with me, and congratulations to him and Masha on their move to Davis Polk.Show Notes:* Kannon Shanmugam bio, Davis Polk & Wardwell* Kannon K.

In this episode of Lab Rats to Unicorns, John Flavin sits down with Heather Turner, CEO of LB Pharmaceuticals, a late-stage clinical biotechnology company developing differentiated therapies for patients with serious psychiatric and neurological disorders. Heather's path into biotech was anything but traditional. Trained as an attorney, she began her career advising startup companies at Cooley before spending more than two decades helping build and scale life sciences companies through financings, strategic partnerships, and major transactions. Along the way, she developed a unique perspective on leadership, risk management, and company building—eventually transitioning from legal leadership roles into the CEO seat. The conversation explores Heather's journey from lawyer to biotech executive, the lessons learned leading Carmot Therapeutics through a $3.1 billion acquisition by Roche, and the challenges of raising capital in one of biotech's most difficult financing environments. She also shares how LB Pharmaceuticals successfully completed a public offering to advance its lead program, LB-102, a potential new treatment for schizophrenia, bipolar depression, and major depressive disorder. At its core, this episode is about leadership in uncertainty—how great companies are built through preparation, resilience, humility, and a relentless focus on patients. Heather offers valuable insights on scaling organizations, building high-performing teams, navigating risk, and creating opportunities for the next generation of biotech leaders.

What happens when one partner feels fully invested in the relationship while the other feels unseen?In Episode 2 of Cooley & The Gang, the conversation starts with a simple observation: a relationship book for wives was sold out, while the companion book for husbands was still sitting on the shelf. That question sparks a deeper discussion about effort, communication, emotional presence, and whether men and women invest differently in relationships.The Gang debates:• Are women more invested in relationships than men?• Is showing up enough, or do you have to be fully present?• Why do couples often wait until there's a problem before doing the work?• Has social media changed expectations in modern relationships?• Is "Happy Wife, Happy Life" outdated?• Is love enough to sustain a relationship?From marriage and dating to personal growth and communication, this episode delivers honest perspectives, real-life experiences, and plenty of moments that will make you rethink what investment in a relationship truly looks like.

We've got two deep dives for you today, each with a lot of laughs (and almost no Donald Trump)!   First, we break down the lawsuit brought by seven police officers against rapper Afroman for hurting their feelings, which ended in a total victory for the defense. It's still legal to make fun of cops in America! We dissect the claims, discuss what it means to sue for false light invasion of privacy and unreasonable publicity. And then we break down the audio of closing arguments and how each side went about persuading an all-white jury in deep red rural Ohio.   Then, we discuss the ongoing shenanigans in the US Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey, where the Trump administration has installed a "triumvirate" of lawyers to run the office rather than just submit a nominee to the Senate. Things came to a head when the government botched a prosecution for child sexual abuse materials and tried to plow ahead anyway. Judge Zahid Quraishi summoned the DOJ lawyer responsible to appear in court and… it did not go well.   And for subscribers, we have a bonus that dives even deeper into the mess the Trump administration has gotten into in New Jersey because it refuses to back down and just do the normal thing.   Cooley v.

From sketching fashion designs as a kid to leading complex M&A and private equity deals, Sara Mostafa shares what separates true dealmaking attorneys from ordinary transactional lawyers, why minority investment deals are like marriages with prenups, and what founders should understand before bringing in growth capital. In this episode of the DealQuest Podcast, host Corey Kupfer sits down with Sara Mostafa, the newest partner at Kupfer. Sara has spent more than two decades representing private companies and entrepreneurs across M&A, financing, private equity, governance, employment, real estate, and outside general counsel matters. Like Corey, she came out of big law and built a relationship-first practice that supports clients from inception through exit. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: In this episode, Sara explains what separates a true dealmaking attorney from an ordinary transactional lawyer, why minority investment deals require “eyes wide open,” and how experienced attorneys balance legal risk against business upside without over-lawyering. She also discusses why AI-related transactions are dominating parts of the California M&A market, why dental and medical practices are commanding strong multiples, what the 2008 recession taught her about resilience and pivoting, and how long-term client relationships often evolve into serving the next generation of entrepreneurs. GUEST'S JOURNEY: Sara originally wanted to be a fashion designer, inspired by her aunt and her childhood love of sketching clothes. While studying at the University of Pennsylvania, she unexpectedly completed her degree requirements early and took a paralegal role at Drinker Biddle & Reath in Philadelphia, which inspired her to pursue law school. She began her legal career at Cooley in San Diego, working on biotech M&A deals before deciding big law was not the long-term fit she wanted. During the 2008 Great Recession, she pivoted to immigration law and nonprofit work in Hawaii before returning full-time to business transactions. She remains licensed in both California and Hawaii. THE DESIGNER DEALMAKER: Outside of law, Sara continues to pursue creative work. Last year she bought a sewing machine and now spends much of her free time designing and making clothes, including garments she is exhibiting at the San Diego County Fair. Like others at Kupfer, she believes building a successful legal career does not require abandoning personal passions or entrepreneurial pursuits. KEY INSIGHTS: A true dealmaking attorney focuses on helping both sides move forward rather than over-lawyering every issue. Business-mindedness, perspective, and the ability to negotiate practical middle ground matter as much as technical legal skill. Minority investment deals can dramatically change how founders operate. Investors often require approval rights over major decisions and expect a future exit, which means founders need to fully understand both the growth opportunity and the downside risk. Sara believes lawyers must balance risk against opportunity. Businesses cannot grow without taking risks, and experienced attorneys help clients evaluate likelihood and impact rather than simply redlining every possible issue. She also explains that curiosity and adaptability matter more than narrow industry specialization in most transactional work. Over her career, she has represented clients across industries ranging from restaurants and fitness centers to technology, healthcare, entertainment, and construction. Perfect for founders considering outside capital, business owners planning an exit, and entrepreneurs evaluating whether their attorney is truly helping get deals done or simply executing documents.

The numbers are staggering. The “magnificent seven” Big Tech companies are expected to have combined capital spending of about $800 billion this year. Data centres' electricity demand is soaring, and hundreds of billions of dollars more are being mobilised to invest in power infrastructure to meet that demand. In this special episode, recorded at the ACORE Finance Forum in New York, host Ed Crooks speaks with five guests at the heart of the revolution in energy finance: bankers, a deal lawyer, a data centre operator and a head of policy. James Wright, Managing Director and Head of US Corporate Banking at CIBC Capital Markets, explains the connection between power, data centres and AI with an analogy borrowed from Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. Think of AI as a layer cake, with power as the base, data centre infrastructure above it, then hardware, then AI models, and the applications as the icing on top. For banks like CIBC, it is those bottom two layers that matter most. James explains how power developers and data centre builders are increasingly converging. Gas, solar and battery storage are driving the bulk of activity in new power generation, though gas turbine supply chains remain severely stretched. “Powered land” projects, created as sites to attract data centre developers, are a popular idea at the moment. But many of them are highly speculative. James estimates that for every twenty conversations, perhaps a couple result in a financeable transaction. Another hot topic is of behind-the-meter generation and co-located power. James sees it happening, but only at the margin. Grid connections are still the ultimate goal.  Adam Altenhofen, Senior Vice President for Impact Finance at US Bank, brings a different perspective on energy finance. US Bank has deployed more than $33 billion in renewable energy since 2008, primarily through the tax credit programmes for solar, wind and battery storage. The wind and solar tax credits are winding down, but projects that start construction before 4 July this year can still be placed in service through to the end of 2030. The storage tax credit was preserved through to 2036. Behind-the-meter generation, Adam argues, presents a fundamental challenge to the project finance model. If the load disappears, so does the revenue. And unlike for a grid-connected project, there will be no readily available alternative revenue streams to fall back on. Guarantees covering the full duration of the power supply contract are the floor, not the ceiling, for what lenders would need to get comfortable, Adam says.  Mona Dajani, Global Co-Chair of Infrastructure, Energy and Real Estate at the law firm Cooley, sees something structural changing. Hyperscalers are now behaving like utilities, she says. They assess data centre locations based on access to power, reliability and duration of supply. Meanwhile, some utilities are becoming more like infrastructure platforms, building unregulated arms and investing in new technologies to serve growing demand. A cultural gulf used to separate the tech and energy industries. But as they have come to understand their mutual interdependence over the past few years, more constructive collaborations have emerged. Jon Edwards, Executive Vice President and Head of Capital Markets at the data centre developer Switch, offers the operator's perspective. Switch currently consumes roughly one third of Nevada's total power supply and operates at 100% green power. Jon explains how the company decoupled from the utility grid for generation purposes back in 2015, buying its own generation while still using the utility for transmission and distribution, and how that model helped reduce Nevada consumer electricity prices by double digits in 2025. He is another sceptic about behind-the-meter power: it is useful as a bridge in some circumstances, but grid-connected utility power remains the primary and preferred solution for serious, long-duration data centre operations. On the financing side, Jon discusses Switch's recent $2.6 billion letter of credit facility, designed to give utilities the financial certainty they need to invest in new infrastructure, knowing they can be confident the data centre load will be there.  The episode closes with Lesley Hunter, Senior Vice President for Policy at ACORE, who sets the policy backdrop against which all of this activity is playing out. ACORE's latest investor survey makes for sobering reading: 69% of capital providers who replied to the survey said they thought the US industry had in the past year lost attractiveness compared to clean energy sectors in other countries. The same proportion, 69%, expect a further relative decline over the next three years. Lesley identifies two main pain points: the still-unresolved foreign entity of concern rules (FEOC) for tax credit eligibility, and the Department of Defense slow-walking agreements needed for wind development that has held up more than 160 projects. Her message for policy-makers is that regulatory stability is vital. “The core ask of the industry right now is to ensure that players have the rules of the road,” she says. “That those rules won't change mid-stream, and they are able to deploy capital, and trust the federal government when making these long-term investments in US infrastructure.”  Follow the show wherever you're listening so you don't miss an episode.
